Copper Breaks State Park Details
Named for copper deposits scattered throughout the region, the Comanche Native Americans would visit this area to seek spiritual refuge. The rugged terrain and grass and mesquite-covered covered mesas are boarded by the seasonal Pease River. Visitors can enjoy the swimming beach, fishing from the pier, padding on the no-wake lake, and hiking or mountain biking the numerous trails. Sunrise, sunsets and stargazing are particularly beautiful here - in fact, the park is designated as an International Dark Sky Park. Campsites are available for overnight camping. The park is also home to the Official State of Texas Longhorn Herd. Entrance Fees - 13 years and older: $3 Daily - Child 12 Years and Under: Free Reservations are available [online] (https://texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/copper-breaks-state-park/r/facilityDetails.do?contractCode=TX&parkId=1200094&_ga=2.67325009.1505092049.1617645325-917412064.1616861417) or by calling (512) 389-8900
